Drone Strike Mitigation Tech Sees Continued Evaluation Under Safety Program
Hidden Level Incorporated has continued its work with the FAA and Saab, researching safety tech to mitigate UAV collisions near airports.
The FAA's Airport Unmanned Aircraft Systems Detection and Mitigation Research Program has been evaluating Hidden Level's Airspace Monitoring Service (AMS) for evaluation since last year. The FAA has been gauged as a standalone solution as well as a complementary technology to Saab's SAFE Airport Event Management system. The program has rolled out the UAS mitigation tech at a handful of airports, conveniently including the Syracuse Hancock International Airport not far from the company's headquarters.
The program will continue to use the AMS throughout 2023, providing an "additional level of situational awareness, providing a very robust surveillance picture. Using passive RF technology, sensors interpret a 3D location, classification, and other identifiers to provide UAS and operator geolocation data. With drone surveillance integration, airport operators can manage drone threats in the same way they manage other high-impact events at their airport."
"There has been a dramatic increase in the number of drone threats, many of these at airports. We are honored to participate in this crucial research program to provide additional tools to keep the National Airspace System safe," says Jeff Cole, Hidden Level CEO. "Airspace Monitoring Service is a scalable solution for major airports considering drone security."
